GloRilla Plays Off Nearly NSFW Wardrobe Malfunction During VMAs Performance

September 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

GloRilla was one of plenty of stars who hit the MTV Video Music Awards stage on Wednesday (September 11), and did so explosively. Moreover, she performed her two big 2024 hits, those being “Yeah Glo!” and “TGIF.” It was overall a pretty satisfying and fun performance, but the swift wardrobe change in between songs was sadly imperfect. A couple of minutes into the “TGIF” rendition, the “Mama” femcee’s bra strap seemed to come apart, and she had to hold onto it with one hand while rapping into the mic in the order so that she wouldn’t expose herself. That wasn’t part of the rehearsals…

Still, GloRilla kept her composure and performed throughout the song without missing a beat. The only thing that made an issue noticeable was the visual aspect of seeing her hold onto herself. Eventually, once the Memphis native was back and standing on the main stage, a backup dancer noticed the issue and fixed the issue so that she could perform normally to close the medley out. It was a pretty smooth and easily manageable malfunction, so props to her and her team for being so graceful with it. Her frequent collaborator Megan Thee Stallion also had some killer performances as well as a hosting gig, and it seems like we might get a full joint album from them in the near future.

The malfunction occurs at around the 2:30-minute mark.

Elsewhere, though, GloRilla recently reflected on how social media meanies can motivate you as much as they can irritate you. It just depends on which side of yourself you let win. “I remember bookmarking dis & telling myself ‘Dey gotchu f***ed up so bad,’” she quote-tweeted a post that read “Glorilla fell off so fast and bad” along with crying emojis. “Dis post ain’t do s**t but put a battery in my back i needed data don’t let dese people write yo story for you , Keep going !!!”

Meanwhile, we might see another side to GloRilla’s artistry develop further these days. She recently showed off her singing skills on a new Muni Long collab, which many fans weren’t expecting. It’s not perfect (just like anything else), but it could definitely lead to more dynamic performances in the future. Let’s hope that these don’t run into the same wardrobe malfunctions, although it’s good to know that these are no problem at all for Big Glo to handle.

Flavor Flav Gives Olympian Jordan Chiles a Bronze Medal: “I got you something that they can’t take away from you.”

September 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Flavor Flav is building his own renaissance moments these days. The Public Enemy icon was in full hype-man mode at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, where he co-presented the night’s first award, Best Collaboration, alongside Olympic gymnast Jordan Chiles.

That in itself feels like something Snoop would do but Flav has been seizing these moments on the big stage, quite literally.

Before Chiles could announce the winner, Flav had a special surprise for her.

ICYMI, Chiles had won a bronze medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics, but due to what was described as “judicial nonsense,” she was forced to return her medal. Flav acknowledged this injustice in his own unique style.

“I just want to turn this into a little Olympic moment for a second, if y’all don’t mind,” he said. “Jordan, I know they tried to take your medal away from you, but you know what? I got you something that they can’t take away from you.”

Get this, Flav presented Chiles with a personalized, bedazzled clock—an iconic symbol of his—and added, “And guess what else, too? I got your prize money too. I got that for you.” With this, Flavor Flav playfully hinted at his new role as a benefactor for women’s sports.

What’s more, following his viral moment with Chiles, Flav shared the spotlight with another star: Taylor Swift. Sheesh, no big deal …

Swift, along with Post Malone, won Best Collaboration for their “Fortnight” video. In her acceptance speech, Swift took a moment to reflect on the significance of the day, saying:

“I wanted to say, waking up this morning in New York on September 11, I’ve been thinking about what happened 23 years ago. Everyone who lost a loved one, everyone that we lost, and that’s the most important thing about today — and everything that happens tonight falls behind that.”

Okay Flav. Keep on keeping on.

Michael B. Jordan Directing, Producing And Starring in Remake Of ‘Thomas Crown Affair’

September 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Hollywood star Michael B. Jordan is set to both direct and star in the upcoming remake of The Thomas Crown Affair for Amazon MGM Studios. This is a big deal and another notch on the belt for Jordan as a director.

In addition to leading the project, Jordan will produce the film alongside Elizabeth Raposo through his production company, Outlier Society.

Get this, although Jordan has been linked to a Thomas Crown Affair remake for several years (with the most recent significant update surfacing in 2021), this marks the first confirmation that he will also be directing the film.

Okay if you’re not up on your movie history, the story has seen two major cinematic versions: the 1999 film starring Pierce Brosnan and Rene Russo, and the original 1968 version featuring Steve McQueen and Faye Dunaway. The plot follows a wealthy man who pulls off an elaborate heist, only to face a clever and seductive investigator determined to bring him down. In the 1968 version, McQueen played a charismatic bank executive who engaged in a mental and emotional duel with Dunaway’s insurance investigator. The 1999 adaptation saw Brosnan as a “rich and successful playboy” who steals art for fun, with Russo taking on the role of the detective tasked with investigating his illicit activities.

What’s more is specifics of the new remake remain under wraps. Deadline reports that the script—initially penned by Wes Tooke and Justin Britt-Gibson, later revised by Drew Pearce—is based on the 1968 film.

Even still, Jordan is staying busy with multiple projects. According to Deadline, he has wrapped up production on a secretive vampire movie with Ryan Coogler. Additionally, he will star in I Am Legend 2 under the direction of Steven Caple Jr., and serve as an executive producer for The Greatest, a biographical series about Muhammad Ali.

Good for him. Another win and we’re here for it.

Cam’ron, Joe Budden & Meek Mill React To Shannon Sharpe’s Accidental Sex Tape

September 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Shannon Sharpe accidentally filming himself having sex on Instagram Live has drawn reactions from rappers such as Cam’ron, Joe Budden and Meek Mill.

Shannon Sharpe Receives Lucrative Offer From Adult Film Site

September 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Shannon Sharpe became the main character on social media Wednesday thanks to a truly embarrassing mishap on Instagram Live. Overall, the former Denver Broncos wide receiver went live while having sex. Although he was not shown on camera, he could be heard. The woman he was with was making numerous sounds, and it became obvious to everyone tuning in what was happening. Ultimately, it was embarrassing and at first, Sharpe claimed he was hacked.

During last night’s episode of Nightcap with Chad Ochocinco, Sharpe revealed that he was not hacked. Instead, it was an honest mistake that has left him embarrassed and mortified. In the end, however, it isn’t all that serious. No one is upset at Shannon, except perhaps the executives over at First Take. Meanwhile, Sharpe is now receiving offers from Adult Film Sites. For instance, according to TMZ, The Porn Dude wants to give Shannon $100K to make a movie on their website.

Shannon Sharpe Came Clean Last Night

It goes without saying that Sharpe will likely deny this offer. After all, these offers are commonplace whenever someone famous is spotted engaging in sexual activity. These websites know how to market themselves, and the offer in and of itself is the way to get brand recognition out there. Regardless, it is still pretty funny to see Sharpe get hit with such an offer. If he knows about it, we’re sure he’s having a good sense of humor about it.

Let us know what you think about all of this, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that Sharpe would ever take a deal like this?

Baka Not Nice Rips Kendrick Lamar Apart Following His Latest Instagram Shock Drop

September 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Last night, Kendrick Lamar dropped off a new track on Instagram that has a working title of “Watch The Party Die.” Overall, the track felt as though it was aimed at a few people and entities. Firstly, there were some bars that seemed to be directed at Drake. Instead of new disses, they were simply reflections on his win and how he feels after taking the world by storm. Moreover, he takes aim at the music industry and the machinations that force him to be more visible than he would like to be.

While many fans are enjoying the new song, there are a few who are not so impressed. Of course, one of those people is none other than Baka Not Nice. At this point, we all know why Baka would be agaisnt this song. After all, he was the subject of an iconic bar on Kendrick’s “Not Like Us.” While scrolling through TikTok, Baka came across the song and was clearly not enthused by the subject matter. He hopped in the comments section and wrote “sh*t sounds like them shoes look” with a trash emoji at the end.

Very few words but impactful nonetheless. At this stage, it seems pretty clear that Baka and the whole OVO team is at odds with Kendrick Lamar, and that will likely never change. As Kendrick said on his new song, the disses were too personal for an apology to make sense. Now, fans will just have to wait and see how this all develops. It should get interesting, especially with Kendrick supposedly looking to drop a new album before the end of the year.

Let us know what you think about the new Kendrick Lamar song, in the comments section down below. Do you believe that this was a solid effort from the rapper? Do you agree with Baka’s recent assessment or is he just mad about the bars against him on “Not Like Us”? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.

Diddy Denies Dawn Richard’s Sexual Assault and Abuse Allegations in New Lawsuit

September 12, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Diddy Says 'ENOUGH IS ENOUGH' After New Lawsuit

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ legal team has responded to a recent lawsuit filed against him by singer-songwriter Dawn Richard, alleging physical abuse and sexual assault. In a statement to Complex, Diddy is “shocked and disappointed” by the lawsuit, describing it as a “manufactured series of false claims all in the hopes of trying to get a payday.”

The lawsuit, reported by TMZ, accuses Diddy of harassment and sexual abuse. Richard, a former member of Danity Kane and Diddy-Dirty Money, alleges a pattern of abusive behavior between 2009 and 2011. She claims he once forced her to rehearse for 48 hours straight, resulting in severe weight loss, fatigue, and dehydration. Richard also recalled an instance when, during a visit to Diddy’s Miami home, he greeted her wearing only his underwear and refused to dress.

The accusations extend further. Richard alleged Diddy forcibly entered her dressing room and groped her. In another incident, she claims he locked her in a car and was only released her after her father traveled from Baltimore to New York to confront Diddy. During the confrontation, Richard says Diddy warned her father, “Think about your daughter and think about your daughter’s career.”

The lawsuit also references an incident involving Cassie, in which Richard claims she witnessed Diddy violently throwing Cassie against a wall, choking her, and dragging her upstairs at his Los Angeles home while under the influence of drugs. She also alleges an incident when Diddy threw a hot pan of eggs at Cassie.

Richard claims that when she and her Diddy – Dirty Money bandmate Kalenna Harper advised Cassie to leave Diddy, he retaliated. Allegedly, he told them, “Y’all bitches don’t get in my relationship … Just make money and shut the fuck up,” and threatened their lives, stating, “I shelve careers … You could be missing … You bitches want to die today.”

Diddy’s legal team released a full statement to Complex:

“Mr. Combs is shocked and disappointed by this lawsuit. In an attempt to rewrite history, Dawn Richard has now manufactured a series of false claims all in the hopes of trying to get a pay day — conveniently timed to coincide with her album release and press tour. If Ms. Richard had such a negative experience with Making the Band and Danity Kane, she would not have chosen to continue working directly with Mr. Combs for Dirty Money, nor would she have returned for the Making the Band reboot in 2020 or agreed to be featured on The Love Album last year. It’s unfortunate that Ms. Richard has cast their 20-year friendship aside to try and get money from him, but Mr. Combs is confidently standing on truth and looks forward to proving that in court.”
